If Congress passes the Paycheck Fairness Act, women are going to have access to more tools to claim equal pay for equal work. If they don’t, if Congress doesn’t act, then women are still going to have difficulty enforcing and pressing for this basic principle.

And we’ve got to understand this is more than just about fairness. Women are the breadwinners for a lot of families, and if they’re making less than men do for the same work, families are going to have to get by for less money for childcare and tuition and rent, small businesses have fewer customers. Everybody suffers.

President Obama on the Paycheck Fairness Act, which is up for a vote tomorrow (via barackobama)

I still can’t believe that this shit still happens. Especially after my mom’s husband lost his job (AGAIN….due to “his tendency to procrastinate” =_=), she works her ass off even harder at her job….the fact this is still up for debate in 2012, is pretty sad.
